Discovering the New Covenant by Greg Taylor - exAdventist Outreach

THE INVESTIGATIVE JUDGMENT
3. It must not only be proved that a day equals a
year in prophecy but that an evening and a
morning sacrifice equal one year.
4. In the face of contextual implication that the
2300-year period would commence when the
daily sacrifice was suspended, it must be argued
that it began, rather, in 457 B.C.—a date which
had nothing to do with taking away the regular
burnt offering.
5. It must be proved that the heavenly sanctuary is
meant, when the context refers to the earthly
sanctuary and activity against it by the little horn.
6. It must be proved that the cleansing of the
sanctuary means cleansing it from the confessed
sins of the saints, when the context refers to
cleansing it from pollution by the desolating
activities of the little horn.
7. It must be proved that confessed sins defile the
sanctuary, and that the blood of individual sin
offerings was taken into the sanctuary, that such
blood was sin laden, and, therefore, defiled the
holy places.
8. It must be assumed that 490 years are cut off
from the 2300 years, when there is nothing in
Daniel 8 or 9 that requires it.
9. It must be assumed that the 2300 years and the
490 years begin together, although there is no
proof of this.
10. It must be maintained that the reconsecration of
the sanctuary in Daniel 8:14, as well as the
anointing of the sanctuary in Daniel 9:24 are not
the same, but are separated by nearly 2000 years.
11. It must be proved that there is both contextual and
linguistic linkage between Daniel 8:14 and
Leviticus 16.
